Feline Shopping Spree Ends in Disaster

By Dave Fox
Seattle, Washingon

An Australian bank has cancelled one customer’s credit card after discovering the customer is… ahem… a cat.

The Bank of Queensland issued a Visa card with a credit limit of 4,200 Australian dollars to a cat named Messiah. Messiah’s owner applied for the card to test the bank’s security system, according to the Melbourne Herald Sun. The credit card application included, among other things, the cat’s age. Messiah is two years old.

The bank issued a statement apologizing for the oversight and promptly cancelled Messiah’s credit card.

Messiah, upon hearing that his potential fish market shopping spree had been brought to a screeching halt, marched straight to the bank and peed on the carpet.
